Fox collected by the newspaper ‘O Globo’.

In this sense, he pointed out that his election in 2018 “was almost a miracle” and that if the left returns to the presidency, referring to former President Luiz Inácio Lulu da Silva, “they will never leave power” and Brazil “will go from power.” follow the same path as Venezuela, Argentina, Chile and Colombia.”
